Gladstone Dainty comes out fighting

USA Cricket Association president Gladstone Dainty has denied claims that certain leagues were excluded from April’s elections because they did not agree with the way the board was being run.

Only 15 of the 37 leagues in America were deemed by an independent review in 2011 to meet the necessary criteria to allow them to vote in elections, although all leagues remain eligible to receive other benefits. Despite this, a number of them have thrown in their lot with the breakaway but unofficial American Cricket federation.
